Botox and Tyler

Yesterday Tyler's docs office called to let us know that they had a cancellation for botox TODAY! We had our appointment already setup because she is booked forever and ever and ever in advance ( like six months) but we were waiting on our insurance. Luckily it got approved and we were all set but a move up in appointments was even better.

Dallas and I decided we would go and get it over with. It is so hard to know that we are subjecting him to pain and suffering but we know that in the end it will be good for him.

We left just after noon and had to stop and get something to eat. We decided on the Mills so everyone would have something that they wanted. We stopped at the pet store so Ty could see the dogs. We ate and then headed into the office.

By the time we figured out how to get in and had to turn around a few times we were ten minutes late. We walked in and the over nice office staff freaked and told me we were canceling his appointment and it would be MONTHS before we got in again. I got mad back. My momma bear claws come out when doctors staff treat people badly. I got really mad at the lady.

We left in plenty of time to get there on time. There was construction AND they called us and wanted US to come in. The change in plans at 5pm the day before doesn't give many of us time to change schedules and get everything together. Ty had therapy scheduled etc. So if you want ME to come in for you be a little flexible.

The desk lady went and asked the doctor if she would still see us. Which our doc did but we would have to wait to the LAST appointment of the day. This is the kicker. He pretty much WAS the last appointment of the day and we didn't wait more than ten minutes. This doc is seriously the hardest to get a hold of. Between us and our brace guy it took us 3 weeks to get in touch with her to go about getting the right kind of braces and casting for him. Seriously, I was such a mad momma.

I apologized to the doctor. She talked to us for about five minutes, we settled him on his dads lap and she went at it. 2 shots, right in the top of his calf muscles. He screamed, tensed up and we were done. He bled a little but got band aids, which he pulled off as we were setting up his follow ups. Then we went home. Another plus, we did get Dallas an appointment there for his neck. Maybe he will get botox as well.

I was expecting it to be A LOT worse and was glad that it went as well as it did. Ty is a real trooper to do all he does. He is a great kid and has the best disposition.
